I KNOW you are not anywhere around Houston or you would not have that attitude.... Apples to apples... you can always find a slow 4x4 QC Hemi that runs 16's or one like mine which is consideralby faster.....

The paxton kits have the limitation of little tuning as of the before mentioned lack of HemiEdit, once we have a good PCM editor I would be willing to bet those times will drop considerably.
I have not seriously considered the FI kits because of that, If I spend that kind of money I had better be seeing over 500 rear wheel HP..... which I will find with the N20.... but I would rather have the blower or turbo..

I would take the truck back to the dealership if I strapped on a supercharger and ran a 15.5. The 15.5 better be at 100mph and I peeled halfway down the track. Nice responses we have going here...keep it up

the thing to remember is that truck running 15.50's was running 16.50's + before the supercharger.... he did drop over a second off of his times...... I remember the posts about it on DTW but I cannot seem to remember why the truck was so slow to begin with... It would have been nice to see them do it to at least a 14 second truck but ....

My 4x4 diesel would have done a 16.5 stock I bet. Spent a few dollars and knocked a second off of that. It beats quad cab hemis as it sits, ones with exhaust only that is. I always hear the word, Supercharger, and automatically assume its fast. Realistically its fast for a truck.
